Voters in states including Texas, Florida, and Pennsylvania are sending progressives to the U.S. House.
Voters"care about how much their basic needs cost," said Rep.-elect Summer Lee in Pennsylvania's 12th District."These are things that truly connect us. And I believe that's actually what makes progressives and our progressive messaging resonate."A number of newly elected progressives from across the country are poised to join the"Squad" of left-wing champions in the U.S. House following Tuesday's midterm elections, with Reps.
Lee faced attacks from the United Democracy Project, a well-funded, anti-Palestinian rights super PAC founded by AIPAC, whichmore than $1 million campaigning against the state House member. The group had also poured money into ads targeting Lee during the Democratic primary earlier this year. "Almost one-quarter" of the $17 million AIPAC spent during the midterm elections"was wasted trying to defeat Summer Lee,"Lee focused her campaign on her support for Medicare for All, protecting reproductive rights, and other economic justice issues, as did Frost in Florida's 10th District.
"Just a few months ago, the leading cause of death for children went from automobile accidents to gun violence," Froston Tuesday night, adding that the broadly popular proposal of universal background checks for gun purchases is"something that we need to pass."
